The Barracuda Web Filtering service, a cloud-based secure web gateway, protects users from malware, phishing, identity theft, and other harmful activity online - in effect, providing a pure wire to the Internet. The service sits between a company's network and the Internet to protect the company's users as they conduct business-critical activities on the web.

The Barracuda Web Filtering service offers a very clean and well organized policy and reporting interface that is easy to use. From the dashboard, administrators can view a consistent hyperlinked drill down into three levels of increasingly more granular data. The service simply organizes group-and user-based policies to ensure they are enforced.
